  • The VA has consistently and unwaveringly taken a head in sand + vitriolic denial approach to the problem which means that way too many of my brave Brothers and Sisters will not get the help they so desperately need and we will see the War Veterans suicide rate climb above the 120 a week number that we are currently experiencing. But, that's good for the Government, because it is a lot less expensive to bury a Hero than it is to take care of one.

  • One example, in this video, is that he states that there are 60,000 people coming back from this war that will need care. That number is about three years old. Today, the number of people coming back from this war that will need treatment, many for 50+ years, is well over one hundred thousand.

  • Every time I hear a politician, or anyone else who has no real knowledge about the topic, say that the VA is (good, great, wonderful, caring, efficient, effective, or any other positive adjective) I cringe. It is very unfortunate that the Governor has advisors who are feeding him bad information that he repeats as fact.

  • He's not a vet, but he's the only candidate with anything more than lip service to giving real support for veterans. The Heroes Health Card is the most concrete thing that anyone has brought forward in this race to really provide care for vets. Bill in 08!!

  • Is Bill a vet? I believe so, but I never hear him talk about it.

  • wow
